Behind the Scenes on GMUNK’s “The Chamber”

Trip backstage with GMUNK and crew for Mr. Munkowitz’ ambitious chapter of The Connected Series sponsored by Samsung; an exploration of the power of technology to re-pattern the way we see ourselves, allowing us to relive the past and embellish the present.

GMUNK: “In today’s technologically saturated world, each of us assume a staggering number of virtual identities. We facilitate social lives through digital profiles on Facebook — engage with popular culture through digital profiles on Twitter — document a curated selection of our day-to-day lives through digital profiles on Instagram — refine our tastes through digital profiles on Pinterest — fall in love through digital profiles on OKCupid — launch careers through digital profiles on LinkedIn — the list goes on and on.

“As we split ourselves into more and more digital avatars, we connect with more and more people: in fact, we’re more connected, as individuals and as a society, than we’ve ever been. But how do we connect with past, present, and future versions of ourselves? As technology continues to evolve, might it eventually be able to help us bridge the gaps in our own self-perceptions?

“As a part of Samsung Mobile’s “Connected” series, GMUNK was one of ten creatives to offer a perspective on the human connection with technology and innovation. Taken as a whole, these ten films create a meaningful dialogue, delving deeply into the ways that our relationship with technology impacts us as individuals, and as a society. The Chamber represents GMUNK’s contribution to that conversation.”
